EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a native of Darjeeling, West Bengal, India, around the year 1910. The image is taken from the renowned publication "Views of Darjeeling with Typical Native Portraits and Groups" by J. Burlington Smith, published by Hood & Co. Ltd in Middlesbrough. In this thought-provoking portrait, we see a bearded Indian man carrying a basket on his back. His direct gaze conveys resilience and strength despite the evident poverty that surrounds him. This photograph offers us a glimpse into the life of an ordinary laborer in early 20th century India. The monochrome composition emphasizes the stark reality faced by many individuals during this time period. It serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by people living in impoverished conditions across continents. Darjeeling's unique location adds to the significance of this image as it showcases not only its natural beauty but also highlights the struggles endured by its inhabitants. As we delve into this historical photograph captured over a century ago, we are reminded of how professions and occupations have evolved throughout time while poverty remains an unfortunate constant for some communities. This powerful visual document invites us to reflect on social inequality and appreciate those who persevere through adversity with dignity and determination.
